Betting on Goals

Genoa started the season very poorly. With Vieira on the bench they had three draws and six defeats in nine league matches, with a total goal difference of 4-13 and constant presence below the relegation line. With De Rossi they have a 6-6-6 record, with 28-26 total goals and they are now in 15th place in the standings, three points above safety. The team is clearly more effective and much more productive. From scoring 0.44 goals per match, they improved to 1.44.

Gasperini built this Roma team from the back to the front. They have the best defense in the league but also the weakest attack among the top six teams. Over time however, the attacking phase has improved significantly.

Genoa’s home matches have been quite open lately. In the four most recent ones there were four overs, with a total of 11-5 goals. Roma had a comfortable February, playing only once per week, and the extra training time was evident on the pitch. Despite a difficult schedule, they scored ten goals in their last four matches, adopting a more attacking style and leaving more spaces in defense.

The recent form of both teams points to an open match. Bookmakers, looking at their overall season performance, offer over 2.5 around 2.30. At those levels there is value. With the Asian line 2.25 we get odds above 2.00 and half of the stake is refunded if exactly two goals are scored.
